katlaughing: by looking at the pictures of your relaxed cats I got the feeeling that they are really happy ones! Moreover, Colorado seems to be a wonderful place to live. Remembers me of western movies.
Well, born in Hamburg and living in Bavaria for about 28 years we do have the alps. But Colorado has its own distinctive character. Great.

A great big kiss to your lovely cats. Won't tell to mine about Colorado. Otherwise they might become dissatified with their actual surroundings!

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of gone Buttje. He was very similar to your red and white cat. Some poeple say-apart from their colour- cats do all look like the same. Like "Little Boxes (Pete Seeger).But that's not true, as you will know.

GUEST, Cats at Work: another almost incredible story about a cat and about what she was able to initiate concerning the autistic boy!
Very well done, to give the remaining money to Cat Protection. I'm sure Mumsie would have liked this decision.

Believe it or not, but spontaneously creating this thread and to read all contributions makes it a little bit easier to me and wife mentally to overcome the death of Buttje. This was and still is a great help.

Again, many thanks to all!!
